Lägler generously provided an all-expenses paid trip to Germany for one lucky attendee of the 2026 NWFA Expo, which took place April 21-23 in Orlando, Florida. Those who registered for Expo had the opportunity to purchase a raffle ticket to win a Lägler Fly & Sand trip.
Congratulations to the winner, Andrew Walz of Mansion Hill Custom Floors in Newport, Kentucky!
The value of the trip is $5,000, and includes:
- Round-trip flight from JFK Airport in New York to Frankfurt (Travel to and from JFK not included)
- Five nights of hotel accommodations
- Two days of sight-seeing
- Two days of training at Lägler’s Headquarters in Fraeuenzimmern
- All transportation while in Germany
- All meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner)
The raffle raised nearly $2,000 for the NWFA Education & Research Foundation (NERF)’s Flooring Futures Initiative. This initiative is designed to remove barriers that prevent individuals from pursuing a rewarding career in wood flooring. Beyond covering training costs, we address tangible challenges like travel, lodging, meals, and lost wages. By providing comprehensive support, we’re building a robust talent pipeline to meet industry demands for years to come.
Earlier this year, Lägler provided another chance to win an all-expenses paid Fly & Sand trip. Contractors who registered early (before March 6) for Expo were entered into a drawing and the winner was Daniel Reddy of Reddy’s Hardwood Flooring Inc. in Villa Park, Illinois.
Thank you to Lägler for their continued support of NWFA and NERF!
